My Business

When i came to Nakuru i got job in a boutique called Maya Emporium where they sell new clothes ,there i worked so hard since i knew what my target was ..inspite the challenges i got like of being mistreated with my boss and also working extra time to get extra pay i did not give up but continued to work harder.When i could not take it any more after working there for one year i decided to look for another place which i also got in a boutique called Monalissa.their i was bit comfortable and the pay was also good.i had a very good boss and in the process i got inspired to open my own boutique so i started to save a bit for a while so after two years i opened my own boutique while still working so that i could still be able to support it until it was stable.when the boss noticed that i had started my own business they started mistreating me so i decided to quite and concentrate on my business.After starting my own business it wasn't very easy but with the support of my husband the job pick up.Hence if i get this zidisha loan it would help me to expand my business and even open more other branches within town since now i have more responsibilities of raising my children who are still young and i would like to give them the best life and education.i do shopping for my boutique in Kampala which is our neighboring country in Uganda they have good quality clothes and also variety to choose from.sometimes its so costly when you have little money especially travelling fee.Am hoping to get this loan which will be of great help.Thank you in Advance.God bless.
